<P><STRONG>Functional Details</STRONG>
<P>
If <TT><STRONG>srcfield</STRONG></TT> is a field:
the module puts the specified replacement component
(<TT><STRONG>srcname</STRONG></TT>) from
<TT><STRONG>srcfield</STRONG></TT>
into <TT><STRONG>dstfield</STRONG></TT>
and gives it a new component
name (<TT><STRONG>dstname</STRONG></TT>).
<BR>
If <TT><STRONG>srcfield</STRONG></TT> is a value list or string list: the module inserts <TT><STRONG>srcfield</STRONG></TT> into
<TT><STRONG>dstfield</STRONG></TT> as the
<TT><STRONG>dstname</STRONG></TT> component
(<TT><STRONG>srcname</STRONG></TT> is ignored).
<BR>
If <TT><STRONG>dstfield</STRONG></TT> is a group:
the hierarchy of <TT><STRONG>srcfield</STRONG></TT> must match exactly.
<P>
<P><STRONG>Components</STRONG>
<P>
All components of <TT><STRONG>dstfield</STRONG></TT> are propagated to the
output.
The <TT><STRONG>srcname</STRONG></TT> component of
<TT><STRONG>srcfield</STRONG></TT>
replaces or is added as the <TT><STRONG>dstname</STRONG></TT> component
in the output.
